They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

Gay is a really funny minority because with other minorities it's like "first black president! first female nobel prize winner' or whatever but with gay people it's "first openly gay" because we all already know there's been a bunch of gay ones already. like nobody even disputes this. gay president? yeah pretty sure we've had gay presidents. gay, you know, king of england? what you think none of those motherfuckers have been fucking gay?

yk how people freak out about ultraprocessed food aiming to bypass your body's natural processes? it's funny how you don't hear the same narrative with diet marketed products when they have ingredients that will have you shitting yourself for 24 hours because it makes the total amount of calories lower. like this cannot possibly be good to consume. the servings of these products you also have to be more careful with, like I remember eating this low calorie ice cream once because I was curious and I noticed it contained an INSANE amount of indigestible insanity. i'm used to GI issues so I drank tons of water in preparation, but others online mentioned they had severe cramping after eating the product, likely because they did not expect such a reaction. it's still salt, fat, and sugar that make dessert foods appealing and companies have not come up with a SAFE way to create diet versions of these more calorie dense products. they tried with olestra in the 90s--people also ended up with digestive issues and thus it was largely phased out. that's because these "hacks" to getting around calories surround how the food is digested and metabolized;

if you've seen any talk from fitness influencers about brands like halo top it's basically this all over again. consuming small to moderate amounts may be fine, but all the marketing surrounds the idea that you don't have to consume small amounts of diet products because they have less calories, which is how people are getting sick. also what happened to "if you have to eat junk food you just lack discipline"? you could be eating frozen yogurt as a replacement for ice cream if it was really your health you were concerned about. i'm just saying when most of my diet consisted of 'low calorie xyz' I had such severe GI issues I thought I developed IBS or something.

anyway no doubt more of these low calorie products will be pushed by western companies as health food in response to people using ozempic to get rid of cravings. will be interesting to see where people end up because these are not sustainable diet strategies.

i've posted on this topic before and people got extremely defensive over using ozempic for weight loss and I just wanna say are that many people on here regularly purchasing ozempic for weight loss? or fantasizing of a future in which they are able to? saying this stuff will have coquette girlies coming for you for weeks guaranteed
